Not true, some guys just like big girls. I would have never believed it until I saw it with my own eyes. I have had some friends, very good friends in fact that love big girls and have had plenty of thinner / better looking (IMO) alternatives.

 

I know these guys and have bought several sets from them in the past [not for me personally]. They look good in person, they're obviously no HRE's but they look better then the average knock-offs, I was surprised by the quality. IMO they're Def worth the money if your going for a "look" factor and you dont drive the car much, you just can't beat the price. however, regardless of how good they look and how cheap they cost..... I would never put them on a turbo car or a DD car I would be driving hard, but thats just me....kinda like buying HRE's and putting khumo tires.


side note: the owner drives a yellow 360 w/19" HRE knock offs that they sell. He's had them on the car for a while, however I don't know how much or how hard he drives the car.

I hope any of this info helps you out buddy..

 

Hey King of Bling,Hows it hanging bro.

Ah, they're just wheels. What could possibly go wrong? <ducking>

 

Those wheels are not wide enough for a TT.

While I have no idea about the quality of these particular wheels, there is no reason why wheels should cost 5-6K IMO. That's ridiculous. You can buy a CAR for 5-6 K.

 

Hey I have some GT3 SSR in 19" They are great. I may sell them for techarts though. I feel the need for black wheels!

 

I love a good old fashioned give-and-take debate. And it appears that, after oil, wheels and tires might be the greatest opportunity to give opinions. Thanks to all, I am learning a lot here.

I have been running GT3's on my 993 for a year, and had them on a previous car for 2 years as well. I have never had any issues with any of them at all, and the new owner of my previous set confirms that they are also still in pristine shape. Both were 18" wheels, I never had them in 19's.

I have seen many people talk about cracked GT3's on the forums, and was only able to find about 4-6 actual cases of cracked wheels across the various Porsche, BMW, and Nissan forums (despite the thousands of sets being sold). Do you have any info showing this "long history" you speak of? If so I would certainly like to see it.

I have also seen posts about cracked Fiske, Kinesis, Forgeline, and OEM Porsche wheels. Therefore, I didn't feel there was any reason to be more concerned with the SSR's compared to any other wheel manufacturer.

 

Being the sole importer of SSR into the US and having sold literally a hundred sets of these MYSELF, I totally agree with this statement. There's no solid proof SSR bends easier than any other 5 spoke wheel with lips that large.

Oh, and I SERIUOSLY doubt those wheels in that eBay auction are forged if they weigh that much. Make them prove it - I bet they can't.

A good read on quality:

I called these guys this morning for info and I don't think I've ever been treated so rudely. They don't show you anything other than the pictures and once you buy, you're stuck. They told me if you don't like the wheels, they'll send you other ones. Read the fine print....you'll pay outrageous shipping to return and restocking fee.

I told the guy if their service after the sale is as horrible as they talked to me before I bought anything, I pass.

 

I had the same experience with them.

Would never buy from them for that main reason

 

That is the kind of feedback I was wondering about. I keep seeing all the Ebay ads, and they all say "............ STYLE"

Looks like a good way to keep them out of trouble when they are copying everyone and passing it off as the real deal. Why don't we order some and pay with a Mastercard STYLE card?

Don't mean to offend, but do NOT buy these SSR's. They are junk, junk, junk.

Had a set on my last Carrera and they rears cracked. Sent back to Tire Rack, who then sent back to manufacturer. They came back and said it was due to road impact. Absolutely, not true. We settled on money back after 1 year of fighting, but lost money on my Bridgestone Pole 3 as I couldn't use it on anything else.

I purchased winter tires from Tire Rack, but will never buy for Porsche again. Also, the weight of the rims are horribly heavy.

 

So far my SSR's on my 993TT have heald up. Just letting you know

 

Don't do it, don't do it!!!! It's not a HONDA
